Dear Mr. Thomas:
Information received by this regional office of the Underground Storage Tank Section (UST
Section), Division of Waste Management, on August 22, 2022, confirms a release or discharge of petroleum at the above-referenced location. Furthermore, this office has determined that you are the
responsible party for the assessment and cleanup of the release or discharge.
As the responsible party, you must comply with the initial response and abatement action requirements of
the Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Subchapter 02L .0504 and, if applicable,
the assessment and reporting requirements of Title 15A NCAC 02L .0505, within the timeframes specified in the attached rules. (Be aware that if Title 15A NCAC 02L .0505 is applicable, you must comply with its
requirements even if you do not receive formal notification from the UST Section.)
Initial abatement action requirements include the preparation and submittal of an Initial Assessment Report
(IAR), in accordance with Title 15A NCAC 02L .0504 and the most recent version of the Guidelines for
Site Checks, Tank Closure, and Initial Response and Abatement, within 90 days of discovery of the
release.
Because a release or discharge has been confirmed, a Licensed Geologist or a Professional Engineer,
certified by the State of North Carolina, is required to prepare and certify all reports submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality in accordance with Title 15A NCAC 02L .0103(e) and
02L .0111(b).
